Leveling Kit

[brannonw31]

Tagging in on this. Is the rake really that bad? I have yet to see one of these in person. I was hoping there wouldn’t be enough to need a leveling kit.

Took delivery yesterday and tinted windows but yes considerable amount of rake

I have bought 1/2” MoFab Spacer which I was told will work!! Planning have it installed and Install Nitto Recon Grappler 295/70/18’s at same time

Auto springs has a spacer that will work, and Rough Country has a coil over that works, Eibach has a strut and 2.7" coil developed for the Tremor, those are all confirmed to work, the rest of the leveling kits that fit a 21+ F150 will work but only nets 1/2"-1" of lift in n most cases.

I actually got mine back in January but yes it does have considerable rake. For what it’s worth it will get better. The rear will settle a fair amount. Mine settled 3/4-1”. I’m not sure if it was a Typo or not but if not I don’t think you want to go through the trouble of putting on a 1/2” spacer, because it’s not going to gain you anything noticeable. As @FaKtor34 mentioned there are some decent options available. Very sharp looking truck! You’re going to really like it.

K, so after owning the truck for a week, the rake is driving me crazy.. The rear currently sits a hair more than 4.5" over the nose. Have seen some nice pics on thread with 2-2.5" lifts. Maybe a bit picky, but thinking I may go with MotoFab 1.5" pucks on the front, and drop the rear by 1.25", via1" Eibach blocks. Should give a 2.75" net offset, leaving 1.75" of rake for payload/towing. Thoughts? Anyone done something similar, by chance?

Appreciate the above, @MOHunter. 3/4-1" of settling definitely nice to know before pulling trigger on anything. Curious if others have experienced the same on rear leaves.

@facKtor34, the Eibach 2.7" coilovers you mentioned for the Tremor, is that providing around 2.7" of lift on a Tremor or do we need to reduce that by .75" to 1" for a Tremor application? Thanks.

@MOHunter care to chime in on this. He's the one that went this route, from what I remember it brought it up right at the 2.7" mark, Eibach did this specifically for the Tremor to get the lift, so should be right on the money for lift. Keep in mind though this is using the specific struts and then the 2.7" coils they specify, it's not a coilover already assembled.

Funny enough, I just got off the phone with Eibach to inquire about rear shocks and I’ll post my super disappointed findings in the rear shock thread. Anyways, the shocks from Eibach for the front leveling are actually their standard F150 leveling shocks (which I was aware of). I thought the springs were designed Tremor specific to go with the standard F150 shocks but I was actually just told otherwise over the phone a few minutes ago. Honestly I’m not sure he knew what he was talking about in regards to the springs because he told me they were standard F150 leveling springs and I could’ve swore they developed a new spring for the Tremor to make the standard shocks work. I guess I don’t know but that’s what he told me. Back to your question, the bare minimum you can set those leveling shocks at with their leveling springs will give you 2.7” of lift in the front. When I did this it also dropped my rear by 1/4”. After doing this and the rear end settling over the now 13k miles I’ve driven I’m left with 1/4” of rake. Hopefully that helps.

Thanks @MOHunter. Sounds like after some early questions, you like this front set-up now. You probably already said, but would you please confirm the part numbers for the struts and coil springs you used from Eibach? Thanks again.

Yes I like how it rides. My only complaint is not being able to set it with more rake.

Speaking of leveling kits, has anyone lost their BlueCruise function because of a 2.5" leveling kit being installed?

I doubt it. I have a 6" on 37's and my BlueCruise still works.

All of the eibach offerings for the 21+ are just their existing parts for the 15-20 trucks. They dont have new gen specific parts nevermind tremor specific. I wish they would on both fronts.

Nope, no change in any of the sensors.

Yep that’s what they said. For some reason I had it in my head that the spring was new, but not the case. it sounds like they likely won’t put any more effort into Tremor R&D which is disappointing.

Time for email campaigns guys, if 50 people on here start emailing the different companies about this eventually someone may decide it worth putting the R&D into it.

Kind of makes me wonder. If I just got a coilover that said it lifted 2.75-3" up front, like the new fox ones for the gen14- it would just lower the tremor like 0.5-0.75" less than it would a regular f150?

Put a stock f150 rear block on the back in place of the tremor one to lower it about 1" and the truck should be close to level. Wondering if then this would make regular f150 rear shocks work on the tremor? In which case the new fox kit would be perfect.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying it but I don't see the downside unless you tow heavy, in which case you can just use bags or the RAS kit. Should still fit 34s

Similar to what this guy did, but adding in changing the rear shocks as well, and some bags for load leveling:

You could do that but lose about 1-1.25" of the height in the front, as for changing the blocks that is what RC did with their leveling kit so several on here have those blocks left over that you might snag for less than a factory block. I will say this, the rear end on these trucks flex more than a standard F150, a buddy has the lariat fx4 in a 21 model and mine has much more articulation than his, he has a coilover leveling kit on his and his sits about like mine stock. I don't know what is different in the rear of these other than shocks but they do offer a lot more articulation.

I emailed Fox last night. Have not gotten a reply yet.
